A six\u2010axis load cell allowed simultaneous measurement of the primary torque the subject was attempting to maximize and the secondary torques at other joint actions. For example, during MVC of shoulder flexion, shoulder flexion is the primary torque and the secondary torques are internal\/external rotation, abduction\/adduction, and elbow flexion\/extension. In general, the stroke subjects had increased secondary torques compared to controls, resulting in abnormal joint torque coupling within the set consisting of elbow flexion, internal rotation, adduction, shoulder flexion. Unlike previous studies, abnormal secondary torques in several cases were due to strength imbalances, which occur when the strength deficit for a particular joint action is greater than the strength deficit in the opposite joint action. This hypothesis was supported by electromyographic recordings and by the finding that subjects with larger strength imbalances tended to produce larger secondary torques. Possible mechanisms and consequences for rehabilitative treatments are discussed.
